British customs officers seized five tons of cocaine valued at nearly €460 million at a London port, marking one of the country's largest drug busts. The haul consisted of approximately 2,800 packages that smugglers had disguised to match the exact shape and weight of banana shipments in an elaborate attempt to avoid detection. The seizure represents part of a broader enforcement effort by Britain's border force, which confiscated nearly 150 tons of illegal drugs in the year ending in March, highlighting the scale of international drug trafficking operations targeting British ports.
